+
+## 1.2.0 - 2025-06-02
+
+### Release Highlights
+
+#### Improved Performance of Repository Initialization
+
+There has been a huge improvement in initialising larger repositories. This was, unfortunately, due to `libgit2` being a lot slower than `git` when performing file protocol push and fetches.
+
+#### Better `rad sync` Output
+
+There has been a concerted effort to improve the fetching and announcing output when using `rad sync`. This also helped us improve `rad clone` which should not include many error messages, while also succeeding.
+
+### New Features
+
+#### CLI
+
+- Output JSON lines for `rad cob`
+- Allow showing multiple COBs at once
+- Improvements to help documentation
+- The full set of actions for patches are now available via `rad patch`
+- Better error context when `ssh-agent` connection fails
+- The remote helper will print `git range-diff`s when creating new patch revisions
+- `rad seed` and `rad unseed` can now take multiple RIDs
+- `rad cob [create | update]` have been added
+- `rad config schema` for emitting a JSONSchema of the configuration
+- Better syntax highlighting
+- `rad cob show` handles broken pipes
+- Avoiding obtaining a signer when it is not necessary
+- Print node addresses when syncing
+
+#### Library
+
+- Patch revisions can now be labelled and resolve comments
+- Issues can be listed by status
+- Extend the set of emojis that are supported
+- Provide an API to do a reverse lookup from aliases to NIDs
+- Use `signals_receipts` crate for improved signal handling
+- Integrate more up-to-date Gitoxide crates
+- Ensuring an MSRV of 1.81

+## 1.1.0 - 2024-12-05
+
+### Release Highlights
+
+#### Database Migration
+
+This release includes a migration of the COB database to version 2. The
+migration is run automatically when you start your node. If you'd like to run
+it manually, use `rad cob migrate`.
+
+#### CLI
+
+* A new `--edit` flag was added to the `rad id update` command, to make changes
+  to an identity document from your editor.
+* A new `--storage` flag was added to `rad patch cache` and `rad issue cache`
+  that operates on the entire storage, instead of a specific repository.
+* When fetching a repository with `--seed` specified on the CLI, we now try to
+  connect to the seed it if not already connected.
+* A new set of sub-commands were added to `rad config`, for directly modifying
+  the local Radicle configuration. See `rad config --help` for details.
+* Repositories are now initialized with a new refspec for the `rad` remote, that
+  ensures that tags are properly namespaced under their remote.
+* A new `--remote <name>` flag was added to `rad patch checkout` and `rad patch
+  set` to set the remote for those commands. Defaults to `rad`.
+* The `RAD_PASSPHRASE` variable is now correctly treated as no passphrase when
+  empty.
+
+#### Git Remote Helper
+
+* The `GIT_DIR` environment variable is no longer required for listing refs via
+  the remote helper. This means the commands can be run outside of a working
+  copy.
+* Fixed a bug where the wrong commit was used in the Patch COB when merging
+  multiple patches with a single `git push`, resulting in some merged patches
+  showing as unmerged.
+
+#### Collaborative Objects (COBs)
+
+* Fixed compatibility with certain old patches that contained empty reviews.
+* Added a new `review.edit` action to the `xyz.radicle.patch` COB, for editing
+  reviews.
+
+#### Node
+
+* When fetching a repository, the fetch would fail if the canonical branch could
+  not be established. This is no longer the case, allowing the user to handle the problem
+  locally.
+* When fetching a repository, we no longer fail a fetch from a peer that is
+  missing a reference to the default branch.
+* Private RIDs that could sometimes leak over the gossip protocol no longer do.
+  Note that this only affected the identifiers, not any repository data.
+
+#### Protocol
+
+* A new `rad/root` reference is added to the list of signed references
+  (`rad/sigrefs`). This prevents a possible reference grafting attack.
